First Song Journey

(mmmmm-hmm) Blank page

staring back at me

Trying

to find the melody

Writing

down my history

One line at a time

And my hands might start to shake

With every single step I take

(oh here we go)

This is my first song,

my first open door

Singing the words I was

hiding before

Taking a breath, finally

standing tall

Even if I stumble,

even if I fall

Used to think

I needed to wait

To find a path that was perfectly straight

But there is beauty

in the design

Of making a mess

and crossing the line

This is my first song,

my first open door

Singing the words I was

hiding before

Taking a breath, finally

standing tall

Even if I stumble,

even if I fall

(my first song)

My very first song (ahhhh-mm)
